Hi, I’m Leah
What I do is hard to explain- but easy to understand. I have created a wholistic approach to household management, self care, family culture and personal finance. I call it The Household Ecosystem Framework. (maybe I’ll get it trademarked…) For you what that means is that I create pathway to get your from where you are not to the life you dream of living on a day to day basis- clean laundry, debt free, and personally fulfilled. And you can learn about that all over the place- but this page is about me and how I got here, so read on new friend.
At 22 my now husband and I set off on an adventure in California, with a tiny savings account and a lot of excitement. In our first apartment I was so excited have a home that would be clean and decluttered and nicely decorated. Unfortunately I quickly learned that we could not stay top of tasks that would keep our home comfortable. I seemed like they should be simple, but it wasn’t for me. I embarked on a decades long journey of trying cleaning systems and decluttering techniques and self care schedules. Sometimes things were great, sometimes they were a damn mess. In the mean time the economy collapsed on us and we were struggling to survive. In California I learned Massage Therapy and found my first spiritual community in Reclaiming Witchcraft. But it was time to head home for the North East.
We budgeted hard, every cent accounted for, and paid off the debt that we incurred moving “home.” We had a debt coach for a few years that helped us tremendously in getting out of debt while enjoying our lives at the same time. I learned how to feed myself and trick myself into washing my face. Slowly step by step I got better at “life.” I added coaching around food issues and meal planning to my massage therapy work. I took some life coaching courses and continued to expand my own intuitive gifts and energy work techniques. We moved to Maine and bought a cute house in the city.
We had kids and then the pandemic hit- The house felt suffocating, we didn’t even recognize it. That’s when my family embraced a type of practical, functional minimalism that allows our home to be manageable for the first time ever. I purges 80% of mine and my families belongings. My husband and I went through the tumultuousness of sorting through domestic labor until we both felt supported and capable. We are now 42 and have 2 kids and a dog, it should be more chaotic than ever. But our sink is clear every night, our clean laundry is actually put away, and there is usually a place to set down a cup of tea.
At some point I realized I have been living with overlooked ADHD and that is why I almost failed math in high school, struggle to eat breakfast and never remember to bring my dirty mugs to the sink. Having that diagnosis and understanding of myself has been incredible. It has allowed me to finally pull everything I do together and create The Household Ecosystem Framework
So welcome to my little corner of the world, where we question every assumption we have ever made and create a life we absolutely adore in the middle of exactly where we already are.
